Report from 4 September 2024 assessment
Ratings - High secure hospitals
Our view of the service
Rampton is a high secure hospital with services run by Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust. Rampton was last rated inadequate (published March 2024). The report was published following CQC’s old inspection approach using key lines of enquiry (KLOEs), prompts and ratings characteristics. This assessment has been completed following the Care Quality Commission (CQC) new approach to assessment; Single Assessment Framework (SAF). We carried out our on-site assessment on 30 July 2024. This was an unannounced assessment, which means the provider was not told an assessment was going to be starting beforehand. During this assessment we looked at all the quality statements across the key question effective and one quality statement of safe and effective staffing under the key question of safe. As we assessed all the quality statements across the key question, effective, this has been re rated as part of this assessment. As we did not look at enough key question quality statements at this visit it means we use the ratings from the previous inspection to rate the key questions safe, caring, responsive and well-led. During this assessment we visited the 3 dedicated women’s wards.
People's experience of this service
We spoke to 8 patients across 3 female wards. Patients on Coral ward told us there was never enough regular staff on shift on the ward, which caused them to feel uneasy. However, all patients told us staff worked with them to develop their care plans and supported them with individual needs and preferences. Staff were very respectful, and patients felt able to discuss their concerns. Patient said they were able to set treatment goals and staff helped them achieve these. The wards had emphasized the importance of healthy lifestyle choices and offered activities and opportunities to exercise. Patients told us they were encouraged and supported to actively be involved in treatment plan reviews.
